Three Extracts from One Iuterview.

Three Extracts from One Interview.
Mr.. Roger Q. Mills, Of Texas, has been
interviewed about the tariff and the reiuc-
ton of the surplus revenue. Here are three
extracts from the interview:
The working people of America will be
greatly benefited by reduction of the tariff
The American workmen in manufactures are
the poorest paid workmen iu the world for the
amount of product they turn out Take coa',
for instance. A miner in England, Belgium
or Germany gets from rs cents to 81 day, while
in the United States he gets from 81 to 81 per
day.
Cur people use labor-saving machinery TO a
greater extent than any other, and conss-
quently they produce more in a given time
than any ether, and because they can and do
produce more their wages are higher and the
price of the product is lower.
Our workmen have the skill and efficiency.
Now they want increased demand for their
employment, which will give them constant
work and constant tendency toward higher
wages. What will give that greater demand
for their employment? More extended
markets for the sale OF their products. How
are they to get them? By lowering the cost OF
materials that make the finished products; by
accepting in exchange for our products the
surplus ofOthers.
The workmen are the worst paid In the
world they make the cheapest goods; they
could make them cheaper II their wages
were higher; they must have free trade so
that they can make cheaper goods and thus
get market.
That is the argument In this interview.
1t is about as consistent and sensible as any
of the revenue reform free traders can
make.

Where Merit and Principle Count.

Among the new members Of Congress
Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge, Of Massachusetts,
will take rank with the brightest. His
profession as set down by the Congressional
Directory is that OF literature, bur his
achievements in politics promise to equal
these in his chosen calling. lie has had
the honor to lead the Republican party Of
Massachusetts to notable victories, and he
was chosen to Congress as distinguished
champion of the leading Republican prln.
ciple, that of protection to American 10.
dustries.
We are led to these remarks, by the as.
sertion Of some Democratic organs that
several districts In Massachusetts, last year
were carried by them upon the free trade
platform. ltis time that they carried those
districts which had previously been repre-
sented by Republicans, and that two OF
their members thus chosen are free traders,
but neither was elected for that reason,
Mr.. j. f, Russell was chosen by the help
of split In the Republican party In dis.
trict two TO one Republican, aud this will
be the first and last term Of free trade
representative from the great manutac
turing district OF Worcester. Mr.. Z. Bar
nett was chosen principally because "ht
married the only child OF James Rlssel
| Lowell'--a fact stared in his biograph
ical sketch. The district was ovsstlksu
by little craze for novelty, aud Mr.
Burnett was very lucky 10 his distinction a.

he has chopped" suddenly, although, un
douUtedly, he was elected "for revenu,
only" as has been his way iu years gone by
| The issue In those districts bore no relation
to the public revenues or any other princI

crate will find the tariff had a bearing. !

will find food for sober reflection. MI

other districts will be reclaimed by follow
ing his example.
Mr.. Lodges merits have been prompt
recognized by his party in the House by h
designation to serve on the committee o
elections, very unusual honor to ne
member. He will justify the conidenc
thus extended. He stands for Republca
principles always. lie will be useful legi

Attorney Riddle has given an opinion that

sent to the commissioners In relation to the
non-psyment for bricks used In the erection
OF this building. Thomas's statement Is to
the effect that he contracted with Messrs

the building for the sum of S., 400.
After receiving $500 they closed work

These were filed with the District commis-

amount from the contractor, Thomas. The
latter protested against this action, claim

BRIG. GEN. PIERCE, who was in command
fthe state troops sent from New Orle ans to
quell the strike and drive the negroes back
to work on the sugar plantations of the
Teche sugar district, has made his report,
and in 1t says;
In my Judgment, founded on my experience
during this strike, each parish 10 this state
should have well equipped aud thoroughly
organized and drilled cavalry company,
showily uniformed armed with light repeat
ing carbine. The want of railroad communi-
cation between important points prevents
rapid infantry movements, which cavalry can
always overcome. The plantations are so ex-
itnsive that II is inpolitic to try to show
strength with infantry upon them all, while
cavalry in squads can, in an emergency, ride
over every plantation in parish,
Of course well equipped and armed
company of cavalry would intimiiate the
poor, ragged, hungry black laborers Of
Louisiana and force them to work at any
price or vote any ticket their lordly mas
tiers, the sugar planters, might name.
Light repeating carbinesn are powerful
arguments that cannot be met by old shot
guns or cane-knives. Louisiana would,
however, find 1t cheaper In the end to treat
its laboring men decently, and like they
were human beings, instead Of preparing to
ride and shoot them down,
